Week 46: frohe Weihnachten

My new comp Sister Shupe

 Welcome back to another crazy week! I dropped Sister Newby off on Thursday morning and picked my new comp up that afternoon. Friday afternoon I got a phone call from one of the senior couples saying that Sister Newby has Covid and that she couldn't get on her flight back home… soooo sad! Pray that she can get a negative test on Wednesday so she can fly home before Christmas! I am the most at risk to get it since we have been together the last 4 weeks so hopefully I'm okay. Christmas in quarantine is not ideal.. so ya that's been kinda crazy. 


We decided to do some Book of Mormon drop offs this week and wow coolest thing happened. It was our first drop off of the day and all we had was this guy's name and address. Sister Newby told me he was an older man who didn't have a phone and that he was so excited to get a Book of Mormon that he literally tried paying her to make sure he got it. We went to the address and searched for this guy's name but couldn't find it anywhere. We rang every single door asking people if they knew who this man was and no one did. We decided that he must've wrote the wrong house number down and so we walked up and down the street searching for his name. After about 30 minutes I looked at my comp and said you know those stories where missionaries pray and just end up getting led right to the house or person? Maybe that will happen to us if we pray. We said a prayer and then with all the faith we could gather, set off to keep searching. After about like 30 seconds we noticed a tiny parking garage and went towards it. Right at the entrance there was a mailbox thing with no name on it, however, it did have a piece of mail sticking straight up. The last name was very similar to the guy we were looking for and then we saw the first name and it was the same! We had found our guy! Both our mouths just dropped. There is seriously no way that this would have happened without God's help. Like seriously the things that happened for that to line up are insane. God answers prayers!  


I've loved these last couple of weeks because they have been so focused on Jesus Christ. He is truly the reason for this beautiful season. I've been studying a lot about him this week and I'd like to share something that I love. I was reading a talk and it was talking about how when we're in darkness or pain or we see someone we love in darkness or pain how we would give anything to take away their pain and help them, but how we don't have to because someone already has, our Savior Jesus Christ. In our darkest times he is who can bring us back to light. Through his atonement everything is made right. I love coming to know my Savior better. His love is perfect and it's there for all of us. When we let that be our focus, life just gets easier and better. I love him!

Week 25: Cook the Rice

Image
  Servus! I hope you all had an amazing week:)) I had a wild one and it was awesome!! Also, this one's kinda long so sorry bout it.  I had a funny German whoops this week. I have them at least 5 times a day but this one made me laugh. We were at a members house and the last time we were there she gave us some coupons and so I was telling her that we used them to buy some things but instead of saying bought (gekauft) I said getauft which means baptized hahaha guess that's just what's on my mind… anyways kinda funny thought I'd share. We got to get together with our whole mission for a mission conference and it was sooo fun. I am exhausted tho and think I might need a week to recover haha. It started out with a 7-hour train ride straight into street finding. Picture this… 136 missionaries hit the streets in one of the biggest cities in Germany and give out 200+ books of Mormon. Basically coolest thing ever. And your girl gave out her first book of Mormon in Deutsch!!! Let...

Week 39: tracting! And ET?

Image
  Being on a mission is a roller coaster let me tell ya… some days are just the best and others ya not so much but hard things make us stronger if we let them and that is something I am grateful for.  So I basically got told yesterday that I am being ET'd in a week!!! I am so sad about it! I was almost positive I was gonna be transferred but I was expecting to at least finish out the transfer. Anyways I've basically been living here in Austria illegally for about 3 months.. I don't have any visa and they're basically gonna have to sneak me over the border so that's kinda scary… don't know what's gonna happen because I also don't have a German visa and ya it's just a big mess. Pray, I don't get deported! On Thursday we finally had a free afternoon with no appointments, so we decided to stop by some less active members. The first one wasn't there so we wrote him a note and then decided since we were already let into the building that we would t...

Week 11: Life is Good

  Hey y'all!! We had zone conference this week and oh man it was too good. We talked a lot about giving it our all out here on the mission. We only get this experience once and so we need to give it 100%. I loved hearing all of the missionaries talk about their experiences and it made me remotivated to keep working hard and doing my best every day! We also had exchanges this week which was super fun! I got to go to Madison Mississippi for a day! They actually have stores and restaurants and stuff… very different than our small town here in Mendenhall.  Kinda a silly story for y'all… we were walking to a member's house and this boy was walking right behind us and slowly caught up to us and so we said hi and he had a very thick accent so we didn't really know what he was saying. He went a different direction than us and then about a minute later he ran to us and said, "yal...
